Virtual machine tackles large dynamic systems
Perc 4.2 is a clean-room virtual machine expressly created to manage the complexity of large, dynamic real-time systems.
The product is organised into functional bundle packages, with the OSGi framework serving as the main package of mBedded Server.
The package provides a comprehensive, modular and scalable Java-based software that enables the deployment, maintenance, and removal of applications and their components across different types of devices.
Other features include the reusability of divided applications, common logic exchange through shared components and libraries, and certified compliancy with the OSGi Service Platform Release 4.0.
Aonix PERC Ultra has been successfully tested with the mBedded Server and has proven to be a predictable and reliable source to deploy OSGi applications.
Together, the two products offer compelling value in the form of addon OSGi bundles designed to suit the needs of large commercial customers.
Aonix and ProSyst are working together to establish a reference implementation for prototyping activities that will appeal to the automotive industry, created on a PowerPC-based development platform containing user-selectable RTOS environments.
Both companies are currently involved in joint customer activities including a large US auto manufacturer and microprocessor supplier.
"Our OSGi solutions are used in many different environments, such as automotive telematics systems, residential gateways and mobile devices", noted Kai Hackbarth, Product Manager at ProSyst.
"Aonix PERC Ultra is a reliable, efficient virtual machine and provides the excellent execution platform that our customers seek".
"Used together, Aonix PERC Ultra and ProSyst mBedded Server provide a powerful combination that enables device and car manufacturers, service providers and service developers to build more complex and dynamic applications while reducing development and maintenance cost".
"Today's applications continue to become more complex and distributed", noted Gary Cato, Strategic Alliances Manager at Aonix.
"A communications framework based on emerging industry standards reduces that complexity and assures fast and effective interactions between widely dispersed devices".
"The OSGi framework implemented in the ProSyst mBedded Server powered by the Aonix PERC Ultra virtual machine provides a tremendous advantage to companies implementing distributed Java-based applications".
PERC Ultra is available for Linux, Windows, and Solaris hosts and supports a wide variety of processor architectures and real-time operating systems.
PERC development tools are available at no charge.
Maintenance contracts start at $3000 for a single user.
